Chapter 244 Shock
When he hurriedly asked Ah Cai to borrow a bicycle and found a tractor to come over, the shore was already crowded with people on three levels inside and outside.
"Everyone give way, give way..."
You don't need to think about it to know that the news that they caught the oarfish must have spread, and the villagers on the shore gathered around waiting to watch the excitement.
Just as Ye Yaodong was about to squeeze in through the crowd, he was grabbed by Xiaoxiao and Azheng.
"Fuck...Dongzi, you are here, I am about to find you. Where did you catch the oarfish?"
"Yeah, where did you catch it? Damn it, it's so big that it almost blinded me."
The villagers nearby saw him and gathered around him and asked: "How many meters is the oarfish? It looks so long. Where did you catch it?"
"I just heard that it's called the Earthquake Fish..."
"Is there an earthquake coming here?"
"I heard it might be a tsunami..."
Everyone gathered around him and asked a lot of questions. It happened to be when the fishing boats docked. Except for the early morning, this was the busiest time on the dock, and there were people everywhere.
Ye Yaodong's ears were buzzing with everyone's words and questions. He quickly raised his hands, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me lift the fish to the shore first. Everyone, please cooperate and give way..."
…”
"Oh... Give way... Give way... You guys let A Dong pass first..."
"The one in front gives way...A Dong is here..."
Ye Yaodong finally squeezed his way through the crowd and climbed onto the boat, and Xiao Azheng and the others followed suit and climbed onto the boat.
There were already several villagers who were familiar with his father discussing it on the boat, as well as several relatives of his family. Ah Cai was also measuring the length at close range.
Just in time, he also wanted to know how many meters away, so Ye Yaodong quickly stepped forward to help.
"Are you ready? How many meters?"
"6 meters 3, damn, you are an incredible oarfish. There hasn't been one in the past few decades. Can I help you contact the seller?" Ah Cai looked at him longingly.
"Didn't my father tell you? I plan to send it to the dock in town to alert everyone and see if there are any bids?"
"Oh, I told you, didn't I want to ask you this? It would be easier for me to contact the buyer directly..."
"You should collect the goods on the ship first. There is also a parrot fish. I have to send this oarfish to the town."
If it is sent to the dock, it will be more eye-catching and sensational, and more people will know about it. If it is widely advertised, the boss who bids for it will definitely have more people than the people he has contacted. He does not do business at a loss!
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he asked his two friends to carry it together. Seeing this, the others also started to take action.
Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen such a big oarfish in my life! Of course I have to lift it up!
Father Ye has already touched it countless times. He is staying on the boat to look at the goods. He will slowly move the goods and weigh them after they are sent away.
Ah Cai quickly followed him and said, "That's just my hand. Let me weigh it. Everyone is still curious about how much this oarfish weighs."
"Okay."
"I'm going to ask someone to bring out the scale first."
The width of this oarfish's body is almost as wide as that of an adult, and its size is terrifying.
Seven or eight people slowly walked out of the boat carrying the fish body. Actually, there were not so many people, but everyone was very curious and wanted to help.
Ye Yaodong felt a little regretful. It would have been nice if he had a camera. He could take a photo and record it. This was his rare highlight moment.
"Everyone, give in, give in..."
"Give me a moment and let us bring the fish ashore..."
"Boom~ Such a big hairtail, I have never seen such a big one in my life."
"I've already said it's an oarfish, but you still have an oarfish... This is an earthquake fish... It's very rare..."
"Oh my God...it's really big...it's so long...I've never seen it before..."
"Is it true that there will be an earthquake? Or a tsunami? Will there be instability in the next few days?"
"Is this going to be sent to the town for auction..."
Ah Cai greeted the people watching the excitement and helped to lift the scale out and place it on the open space at the door.
Afraid that the fish would be too long and difficult to weigh, he took a wide piece of broken wood and placed it on the scale to make it easier to weigh.
The crowd automatically made a way out of the way, and everyone gathered the long oarfish into several circles and placed it on the wooden board for weighing.
Everyone gathered around and stretched their heads to watch Ah Cai add weights one by one. When the scale started to float, he fiddled with the scale back and forth. Only when the scale swung back and forth in the middle did he excitedly say: "Fuck!"
, 202 kilograms and 4 taels, the horse is so big, it is heavier than the big dragon we weighed a few days ago."
The villagers were in an uproar, and the crowd also burst into exclamations.
Ye Yaodong quickly reminded him, "There are also boards, and the weight of the boards must also be deducted!"
"I know, you move the fish away first. You guys just brought the fish up before we even had time to weigh the planks."
Ah Cai waited for them to move the fish away, then took off all the weights, and then put one weighing five pounds and one weighing one pound.
"The plank lost exactly 6 kilograms, and the fish weighs 196 kilograms and 4 taels."
Everyone was so excited that maybe people from other villages came to see them and thought they were all arrested together...
"Okay, it's been measured and weighed. Let's hurry up and move it into the car."
Amid the discussion among the villagers, and with everyone's help, the group of people lifted the oarfish to the tractor, then formed it into several circles before placing it on it. Ye Yaodong immediately jumped on the tractor and stood carefully in the gap.
, don’t step on it.
He also called Xiao Azheng and the others to come up together. Of course, for such a big fish, a few more people would be needed to help.
Strength in numbers is certainly better than going it alone.
What if you encounter someone who is unreasonable?
"Dongzi, can you let your two cousins ​​go together? If you have more people, you can move around and help if you need anything." Mother Ye felt that they were a little short of people, and the eldest son and the second son had not gone to sea yet.
When she came back, she planned to call her two eldest nephews to help.
"Okay, I'm about to ask my two cousins ​​to go too."
Others were also a little eager to try and wanted to follow to watch the fun, but they didn't say anything and were too embarrassed to follow.
After everyone stood on the vehicle, the tractor began to change direction, and the villagers cooperated to get out of the way. Just as the tractor was about to drive away, another shout came from behind.
"Wait a minute, Dongzi, wait for me, I haven't gotten in the car yet..."
Ye Yaodong heard this and looked over. It was A Guang who was squeezing through the crowd. He quickly asked the tractor master to stop first.
"You just came back?"
Aguang ran forward quickly, put one hand on the tractor, and then jumped on.
"Damn it, is it really that big? When your father told you on the boat, I didn't believe it. It's really that big..."
As he spoke, he touched the fish head with his hand and asked, "How many pounds and meters does this one weigh?"
"6.3 meters, 196 pounds and 4 taels."
"I'm a fool, and I've gotten rich again. How did I get it? Why haven't I encountered such a good thing? It seems that I still have to follow you."
Ye Yaodong grinned happily and said: "I just found it on the sea when I was going to collect the longline, but I didn't know what it was at that time. It just looked a little strange under the water, so I drove the boat and followed it.
…”
He briefly told everyone in the car about his encounter with oarfish, and everyone couldn't help but secretly scold him for his bad luck.
They were also working at sea, why didn't they have such an adventure? He was the first to do anything good, and he was so angry that he was half-dead.
"Made, take me to the island you met tomorrow and see if you can pick one up for me too?" A Guang said with envy.
"Give one of us a piece too!"
"Fuck, are you dreaming?"
"I've never even heard of oarfish? If I saw it, I would probably just ignore it, but you can still follow it."
Ye Yaodong said proudly: "So I will teach you a lesson today. When you encounter strange things at sea, it is best to follow them and take a look. If you are afraid of danger, you can not follow them so close. You may find something different.
.”
"It really is."
I've had a toothache for half a month. Yesterday, a quarter of my big tooth fell out. I scratched my tongue and it's really uncomfortable. I've been out of shape today and can't concentrate. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.
If I owe more money, I will pay more money when my teeth heal...
